[ Denji stares up Aki's way, visibly annoyed, as she brooks another crest of colorless smoke invading her senses, slender tendrils ghosting over their heads, nearly transparent in the lamplight. This nicotine-addicted slag. Always with the insults… It means kissing! She kissed them! What other meaning could make out have? Still, she roughly erases what characters she was writing (she'd forgotten midway what the stroke pattern to one kanji was), decorating her report in rubber shavings. ]

I mean, you saw Emi-chan's stuff. A bunch of her dresses and skirts looked kinda itchy, but she had some grown-up outfits in the very, very back!

[ Instead of writing what she took, her pencil draws a series of doodles across the page: some peanut snacks, a bottle of tea looted from the mini fridge, a vial that she kindly labels as pirfume, and then the garment bag. ]

So I took one, since I don't got a whole lotta those. [ Most of her closet is filled with clothes from the secondhand store… and some secondhand straight from Aki's own wardrobe. For example, the tanktop she's wearing under her blouse right now. ] It's gonna make my rack look suuuper sexy on me, and then guys will be linin' up outside our apartment to take me on dates to the zoo and all that!

[ No, Denji doesn't know what the proper attire is for a zoo date. ]

…'course I'm not gonna go, seeing as I'm already taken. But you get the idea. What'd you get?

[ If she's remembering correctly, Aki's hands didn't look as full as her own walking out of the dressing room. Did she not take anything and now she's regretting it? ]

[She wants to go on dates to the zoo in a grown-up outfit... What? Aki is almost afraid to find out when she opens up that bag what she took, if it's going to end up being some sort of buxom costume from one of her shows. Denji doesn't even have the tits to pull off anything like that, so why bother...?]

[But then she brings up what Aki took and... She pauses, pen hovering over the paper as she decides whether to say. This idiot. Her pen goes back to work.]

All I took was a palette. It was still sealed in plastic, I doubt she was planning to use it. Her skin tone is similar to mine, so I figured it would work.

[Not that she really ever wears make-up. Not at work, anyway. But she only has a couple palettes she bought back in high school - may as well snag a high end one while she has the chance.]

You can buy better clothes, you know. I gave you your stipend last week. Not like you pay rent, after all. You should get some sports bras, mine aren't going to fit you.
